Answer:

the wax is a nonpolar substance that will not mix with polar water

Explanation:

Water is polar by due to the uneven distribution of charge between the hydrogen and oxygen. T=This automatically eliminates options 3 and 4.

Wax on the other hand is a non polar substance. Due to this non polar characteristic, it would not dissolve in water. The correct option is;

- the wax is a nonpolar substance that will not mix with polar water

Where does regional metamorphism usually occur ?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Regional metamorphic rocks form from other rocks (protoliths) by changes in mineralogy and texture in response to changing physical conditions (temperature, lithostatic pressure, and, in most cases, shear stress). Regional metamorphism occurs over broad areas in the lithosphere, possibly influenced by the heat supply. Regional metamorphic rock results from regional metamorphism and usually develops a flaky texture.  These changes are essentially solid-state reactions, but very often a fluid phase is present, either participating in the reaction or as a reaction medium. Many regional metamorphic rocks have a chemical composition that is very similar to that of their sedimentary or igneous precursors, with the exception of removal or addition of volatiles (mainly H2O and CO2). This type of behavior is termed isochemical metamorphism. Metamorphism may also take place as a result of a change in chemical environment; this may occur by transport of elements between chemically contrasting rock types (e.g., formation of calc-silicate minerals at a quartzite–marble contact) or by circulation of fluids that dissolve some substances and precipitate others. This process of significant chemical change during metamorphism is known as allo-chemical metamorphism or metasomatism, and rocks formed in this manner are metasomatic rocks. Metasomatism is, however, mostly of local significance, and the total volume of metasomatic rocks in regional metamorphic terranes is rather minor. The distinction between metasomatism and is chemical metamorphism is also a matter of scale. On the scale of individual grains, mass transport takes place during all phase transformations; on the scale of a thin section, it is probably the rule for regional metamorphism; on the scale of a hand (sized) specimen, it can be observed frequently; and on a larger scale, it is the exception.

Which statement describes a step in the formation of an ionic bond?
BartSMP [9]
The correct answer is  a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion.  This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals.  Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.


Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces. 

A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.

A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
